  Awesome idea! It made me realize that GitHub Gists could be used as a free non relational DB, with the proper setup perhaps even private. I'm working on a FOSS project manager (release date TBD), I'll look into this for sure!

  Woah this is pretty powerful. It also appears the [1] github repositories api supports this too. So you could have a structured repo containing all your posts instead of gists... Not quite relational, but better! [1] https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/ https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/

    See also https://coisas.alhur.es/ https://coisas.alhur.es/ for an app that turns your GitHub repo into a real CMS.

  bl.ocks.org has been functioning this way for years, allowing to show-case code. For example, https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/7881887 https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/7881887 is rendered from the content found in https://gist.github.com/mbostock/7881887 https://gist.github.com/mbostock/7881887.
